Glossary

MESH adaptation
Provides a mapping from the generic MESH support to a specific management protocol.
Measurement Object
A user installed and configured application or process collecting and filtering measurement samples provided by one or more resource objects.
Measurement Responsible Process
A gateway between the measurement type interface and the individual measurement objects. A Measurement Responsible Process supervises one or more measurement objects, maps the measurement object identifier to the correct process identifier, thereby enabling communication with measurement objects. It also keeps track of the available resources, mapping new measurement objects to the correct resource and by its existence ensures MESH that the user supplied supervision scheme is still working. MESH only supervises the MRP (and the node it resides on), whereas the MRP has to supervise every individual measurement object, reporting to MESH whenever one becomes disable, and order revival, if required.
Measurement Type
A container, holding all the code needed when dealing with the associated measurement objects. Specifically, the measurement type shall provide an interface, which is used by the Measurement Handler to create, delete, and control the measurement objects.
Resource Object
A user or operating system installed and configured application or device producing measurement samples.
